Peterpools Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Phil Looking mighty good and the pre-shading comes through with just the right effect. Keep 'em comin Peter  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Exactly like Peter says, the paintjob looks great and will really shine with decals and weathering. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob Thanks Rob, pleased with the shading, may go a little lighter next time before top coating. Bought some Vallejo desert dust wash so interested how that may look on this?……… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahunaminor Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Understated but very effective. Nicely done that man! Regards, Kent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kent, you are an officer and a gentleman, very much appreciated. I am trying to teach myself weathering of aircraft. Bizarrely I have no fear on AFV’s but aircraft, let’s say a little apprehensive……. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, too. I'm so worried about it that I always fix my canopy parts before painting. Then I can add a spot of putty if required. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once it worked out alright. I didn’t like an idiot gloss coat before the decals. Some film can be seen. I going to lightly blow some Vallejo Matt over the decals to see if they hit back. Do not want to balls it up this late…… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Phil Looking mighty good and awesome progress. I too was thinking about the canopy fit and now knowing it's a spot on fit, the roll out is close at hand. Keep 'em comin Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Thanks Peter, I dry fitted the canopies last night after shooting some Matt varnish. They are friction fit and stay in place, may just leave them like that instead of applying glue……… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
